Sean “Diddy” Combs has requested a judge to dismiss a Lawsuit brought against him by Rodney Jones.
Combs’ legal team has described Jones’ allegations of Sexual Assault as “pure fiction” and urged the court to throw out the case, stating that the claims were baseless and an attempt to extort money.

The motion was filed in the Southern District of New York by Diddy’s’ lawyers, who argue that Jones’ accusations are unfounded.
“Running to nearly 100 pages, it includes countless tall tales, shameless celebrity namedrops, and irrelevant images,” the filing stated, as well as arguing Jones’ lawsuit was filled with “blatant falsehoods” to “generate media hype”.
A member of Combs’ legal team also spoke to the media.
“Mr Jones’s lawsuit is pure fiction – a shameless attempt to create media hype and extract a quick settlement,” lawyer Erica Wolff told Fox News Digital. “Mr Jones was not threatened, groomed, assaulted, or trafficked. We look forward to proving – in a court of law – that all of Mr Jones’s claims are made-up and must be dismissed.”
In February, Jones accused Combs of sexual assault and forcing him to engage with sex workers.
Following this, Combs’ homes were raided by federal authorities as part of a wider human trafficking investigation.
Additionally, there are four other sexual assault lawsuits pending against Diddy, all of which his legal team has moved to have dismissed.
